Controversies

DZXL's coverage of the 2010 Manila hostage crisis was criticized for breaching media ethical standards. An interview conducted with the hostage-taker, Rolando Mendoza, was cited in the Incident Investigation and Review Committee report as having "blocked the negotiators' efforts to stop the hostage-taker from shooting his hostages." DZXL's legal counsel, former senator Nene Pimentel, defended the actions of the media, asserting that they were simply "doing their job". He took exception to the perceived lack of response from the authorities regarding the hostage-taker, noting that the radio station only intervened nine hours after the crisis began. [6]
